Shoe brand Veja may be landing on your radar now, but their story goes way back to the 2000s. Veja is a footwear brand based in Paris. This French footwear was founded by François-Ghislain Morillion and Sébastien Kopp in 2004 and launched the first sneaker in 2005.

Veja doesn’t use sweatshops and doesn’t advertise its brand: it is an ecological and ethical grounded sneaker maker leading by an example. A V-logo characterises Veja trainers, and it wasn’t until 2019 that they had a physical store in Paris.

Veja is a literal translation for look (Portuguese to Brazilian), meaning Look how Vejas are made and look beyond the sneakers. This means it is possible to do the impossible: from the organic cotton farm to a shoe distributing store.

The company bought rubber on Amazon, despite the high price compared to synthetic materials. François-Ghislain Morillion and Sébastien Kopp took advantage of ecological cotton to return nutrients to the soil instead of damaging it with chemicals. Veja utilises recycled plastic bottles for some of its shoe models by making waterproof mesh. This makes the Veja brand a vegan sneaker with models like Campo and V10.

Veja shoes are synonymous with contemporary, clean, and classic style, and it is now seen on the feet of the most influential fashion stars in the industry. The France-based footwear brand has maintained its position in the sneaker industry with fair trade conditions and ecological production.

Selecting the right Veja sneakers to buy can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it is your first-time. Whether you are a Veja fanatic or a first-time buyer, below is a list of Veja models to choose from.

• Esplar
• Campo
• V-10
• V-12
• Condor 2
• Small Canary
• Sdu Rec

Launched in 2005, Veja goes beyond the normal comfort and style. Veja ensures that everything they do, from material sourcing, designing, and production processes to distribution, has a positive impact. Therefore, sneakers production is sustainable, ethical, and environmentally friendly from start to end.

Veja decided to focus on sneakers resulting in a vast collection of stylish and diverse footwear. The wide variety of Veja sneakers makes it one of the most loved shoe brands. So, you don’t have to worry about the style you want to rock your day with.

Considering the fact that it is among the youngest brand in the market, it has enough for everyone. These sneakers comes in different colours to suit different outfits and styles. Veja was the first sustainable shoe brand worldwide. It uses organic cotton, sustainably-sourced leather, and recycled material perfect for all-day activities.

These minimalist and stylish sneakers can complement any outfit combination without much of a try. According to Morillion and Kopp, Veja trainers are more than shoe brands. Since Meghan Markle was spotted in 2018 wearing Veja sneakers, we have lost count of people wearing these trainers.

Veja has become a street style staple, spotted with different styles like:

• Cute crop top and a FP movement leggings with white V-10
• Maxi dresses or wide-legged trouser with baggy tee with Small V-10 Velcro
• Stylish sweatpants and sports shirt with a pair of Veja Campo sneakers
• Dress with Veja sneakers
• Button-Up shirt, coat, jeans and scarf with Veja sneakers
• Sweater, jeans and coat with white Veja sneakers
• Chinos, t-shirt and leather jacket with Esplar
